Shadow forwarded along DIY Urbanism: No Permits, No Red Tape, No Going Back. Looks at Mike Lydon and Street Plans Cooperative, the Build A Better Block movement in Dallas, and more.
A few weeks ago, I helped a friend install a dock down in Tiburon, and ended up with a dock float. Today I went down and put the boat in the Petaluma River at the end of "F" street, a nightmare of slippery rocks and muck. Later, I gave the dock float to the Friends of the Petaluma River at the Petaluma River Heritage Center, and it was all I could do to not keep it, build a dock, and go float an unpermitted dock at the end of F street.
Discussion when I dropped it off suggested that at some point I may be able to find some co-conspirators...
